Crystal Palace v Wolves

🗓️

Kick Off: Tuesday 20th May at 20:00

🏆

Competition: Premier League

  • Palace are undefeated in 6 matches, despite playing against each of Bournemouth, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, and Man City.

  • Eze is in league-topping form, having scored at least once in all six of the above matches.

  • Vitor Pereira’s arrival at Wolves has boosted their points per game from 0.6 to 1.6 and their win percentage from 13% to 50%.

Following their season-defining FA Cup victory against Man City on Saturday, Crystal Palace are back in action as they host Wolves at Selhurst Park.

It’s been pretty evident for some time that a mid-table finish awaited both sides, with neither coming close to the lows of the relegated trio, nor the highs of those fighting for a top-6 finish.

In the case of Crystal Palace, Oliver Glasner will feel safe in the knowledge that his men cannot drop below 12th position. They trail Fulham, who occupy 10th position, by 5 points, meaning that, given Palace’s game in hand, a top-half finish isn’t off the cards, but they’d need all 3 points on Tuesday.

Wolves, who currently sit in 14th position, could finish anywhere between 13th and 17th, but much like Crystal Palace, their hopes of climbing the table hinge entirely on securing all three points - anything less would effectively end any upward movement.

Although the bookies suggest there’s little between these sides, backing Crystal Palace to claim all three points at home looks like value at 2.6. They’re undefeated in six, despite having faced off with some tough opposition, and their confidence will be sky-high following their FA Cup win.

Helping them over this run was Eberechi Eze, who bagged in each of those matches, including a brace against Tottenham. He’s totalled 15 goals and 11 assists this season, and has been priced at 3.6 to score anytime, or 2.4 to score or assist.


🔵 Relentless Eagles Soar Under Glasner

Palace are probably the most in form of the two sides. They’re undefeated in 6 matches, with that run consisting of brutal clashes against Bournemouth, Arsenal, Aston Villa (W), Nottingham Forest, Tottenham (W), and Man City (W).

Only two defeats separated this impressive streak of form from another one preceding it, which consisted of an undefeated run of seven, in which Palace recorded six wins and a draw.

Last time out in the league, Palace saw off Tottenham in an impressive 2-0 victory. They humiliated their opponents, creating 3.39xG to Spurs’ 0.68, and firing off 23 shots while conceding no more than 8.

Although Oliver Glasner’s men were regrettably unable to make the most of their 8 big chances, an Eze brace was a reminder that they’re by no means short of a clinical touch in their squad.


🟠 Pereira’s Impact Clear, But Wolves Yet to Conquer Tougher Tests

Wolves’ performances this season have been night and day, presenting clearly defined pre- and post-Vitor Pereira eras.

Under Gary O’Neil, Wolves had struggled, managing just two and three draws from their opening 16 games.

A 13% win percentage and an average points per game of 0.6 would have put them firmly in the bottom-three this season, and easily could have seen them make the drop down to the Championship.

That said, since Pereira’s arrival in December, things have turned around remarkably; Wolves have won 50% of their league matches since, boasting a strong average of 1.6 points per game.

Although it was too little, too late in the context of a charge for the European places, the trajectory is strong and they’ve maintained this ahead of their visit to Sehurst Park.

An outstanding six-match winning streak pushed them to new highs, although back-to-back losses since then might have offered a minor reality check.

That said, it’s worth highlighting that there may have been an element of luck during Wolves’ winning run. All six of their victories came against the only six teams currently below them in the table.

Since then, they’ve found clashes with Brighton and Man City to be too tough a challenge, underlining how much their form has been shaped by the calibre of opposition.


📊 Crystal Palace v Wolves Head-to-Head Key Stats

The head-to-head record implies Palace could have the upper hand on Tuesday, as they typically have in recent clashes.

Oliver Glasner’s Palace have only faced off with Wolves in two competitive showings, winning the first but drawing the most recent, despite outclassing their opposition on the day.

Last time out, fans were treated to an exciting 2-2 draw, with all four goals coming in quick succession, between the 60th and 80th minutes.

Crystal Palace created 2.51xG to Wolves’ 1.53, and dominated most other metrics too, but failed to make their advantage count at the Molineux.

It was the third straight showing to have featured over 3.5 goals, including goals from both teams, meaning Palace have notably scored at least twice in 6 of their last 7 matches against Wolves.

That said, Vitor Pereira was not at the helm for any of those meetings, which bears significance given his sizeable impact at the club.
